Peggy West-Barton Booktalk 3 The Trouble With Lemons by Daniel Hayes "Lymie told me we'd be sorry if we went. Which I didn't listen to, seeing as how Lymie was the kind of kid who thought you'd be sorry if you got out of bed in the morning.  Besides, nobody ever really listened to Lymie. Not even Lymie.    But this time he was right."    Tyler gets off to a rocky start because: · both his mother and his brother are famous movie stars. As a result Tyler feels like an outcast a nobody. · This all begins to change one night when Tyler and Lymie, his best **and only** friend, sneak out and go swimming in a quarry **just outside** of town. · **This in and of itself isn't so bad **, but add to it the gruesome discovery of a dead body floating in the water and you have yourself one **good murder mystery**…or **was it**? · Tyler and Lymie, who anonymously report the body to the sheriff's office, must piece together clues only they know about to find out the truth before the truth finds them!  <span style="color: black; font-family: Symbol; font-size: 16pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Garamond','serif'; font-size: 16pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">& with Tyler approaching his **13th** birthday, <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="color: black; font-family: Symbol; font-size: 16pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Garamond','serif'; font-size: 16pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> Ask yourself, will 13 turn out to be a good or a bad year for lemons? <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Garamond','serif'; font-size: 16pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">The Trouble With Lemons **<span style="font-family: 'Garamond','serif'; font-size: 18pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">By //Daniel Hayes// **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 18pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">
